[edit] History
It was founded in 1930 as a work settlement of Ostyako-Vogulsk (Остяко-Вогульск) after the obsolete names of Ostyaks and Voguls for the Khants and Mansi peoples.[citation needed] In 1940, it was renamed Khanty-Mansiysk, and it was granted town status in 1950, merging with the village of Samarovo, known since the 16th century, along the way.[citation needed]
Today Khanty-Mansiysk is a flourishing town, which in recent years has received considerable foreign investment. For example, in 2007, the English architect Norman Foster signed an agreement to build a 280-meter (920 ft) high skyscraper in an attractive part of the town. When it is built, the Crystal Skyscraper will be one of the tallest buildings in Russia. Besides this, the Dutch architect Erick Van Egeraat is planning to build a business complex in the town center.
In 2010, the Olympic Hotel was built just to house the players in the World Chess Olympiad. The hotel opened on September 15, 2010 and closed on October 5, 2010 after all the chess players had left. It has not yet been decided what use will be made of the building.
